Hip-hop star SAIGON has pleaded not guilty to allegations of abuse and harassment against his estranged girlfriend.
The rapper - real name BRIAN CARENARD - made the plea against the charges of second-degree harassment and disorderly conduct, after being accused of harassing his former partner, pouring a beer over her and physically abusing her in December last year (06).
The judge hearing the case in New York on Wednesday (28FEB07) ordered Carenard to stay away from the woman, issuing a protection order, according to AllHipHop.com.
